Foundation Events

Throughout the year, the Foundation hosts several special event fundraisers that help raise money and awareness of specific causes that the Foundation supports. You can participate in a variety of ways and have a lot of fun while raising funds for a great cause!

Archbold Classic

The Archbold Classic is a Pro-Am format golf tournament held annually at the historic Glen Arven County Club in Thomasville. Over the past 19 years, the Classic has raised over $1.4 million to benefit the Archbold Scholarship Program. For more information about this year's tournament contact the Foundation office.

A Pink Affair

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and Archbold participates in style, hosting a fun-filled fashion show at the Lewis Hall Singletary Oncology Center featuring cancer survivors as models. Proceeds from the event help supplement the hospital's mammogram assistance fund offering free and low cost mammograms for those who qualify. For more information on how you can become involved and participate in this year's A Pink Affair contact the Foundation office. This year's event promises to be another rip-roaring affair!

Tree of Lights

For over 25 years, the spirit of the holiday season comes alive in the main lobby of John D. Archbold Memorial Hospital with our annual Tree of Lights ceremony. During the month of December, donors can make tribute gifts in honor or in memory of loved ones. Symbolically represented by the decorations and lights on the massive live tree in the lobby, the official lighting of the tree celebrates the life and memories of all those honored. All proceeds from the event benefit Hospice of Southwest Georgia. For more information on this year's Tree of Lights contact the Foundation office.
